Text	[from Chadwick's column] ...I had an opportunity to witness the first match of the Amateur League's season, and the event took me to West Brighton, Staten Island, to see the rival nines of the Staten Island and New Jersey Athletic clubs play together. It was a cloudy day, with showers, and yet a very fashionable assemblage of spectators were gathered on 's beautiful grounds to see the math; the grand stand, especially, presenting a very attractive sight, crowded as it was with beautiful girls. When I took my seat at the reporter's desk and looked around I was delighted to see such a beautiful ball field at the command of amateur players. The Sporting Life May 23, 1888. [N. B. The Staten Island Athletic Club still exists as a running club.]
